E2W - 151 From Melbourne Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

BettyBoo3747: Havijng seen the devastation yesterday, caused by 6 inches of rain in mid-December (in 24 hours) I thought I had better ride the Rail Trail and check all the caches. This ride was between Tarrawingee Station and Bowser Station checking all my caches along the way. 15 kilometres, 3 hours of hard work and 38 degrees by the time we finished at 12.30pm. Mad dogs and geocachers only out in this heat. Fortunately we had a car and cold drinks waiting at the Wangaratta end.

The 151 milepost has disintegrated beyond recognition. Time to archive the cache.

Geocache Description:

Cache # 230.

The Murray to Mountains Rail Trail is a wonderful cycling trail between Wangaratta and Bright, with a side track running from Everton Station to Beechworth.   To differentiate between the various sections I have called this part of the Trail - Everton to Wangaratta. The trail is suitable for road bikes.


These are essentially caches placed for cyclists using the Trail.  Car drivers may need to take a pleasant stroll to reach some of them.

The section from Everton to Wangaratta can be quite tedious.  There are long straight stretches without much tree cover so what better way to break it up than to stop for a few caches along the way.

I always enjoy discovering these old mile posts along the old railway lines. They are relatively rare but I have now found five along this section between Bowser and Tarrawingee Stations. There is also one at Everton Station #161, one at Beechworth #171 and one at Burgoigee Creek #167. I must see if I can spot some more.

This is a micro container with Rite-in-the Rain log sheet and you will need to bring your PEN.   No signature and the on-line log will be deleted.
